Celebrating Constitution Day and Citizenship Day

Share this post:

Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is observed each year on September 17 to commemorate the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787 and “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.”

Both the Law Library and the Library of Congress have many resources for researching the Constitution.

The Library of Congress has a Creating the United States exhibit that also is within myLOC.gov or accessible through the iPhone app.
